From Idea to Production: Building a Spider-Man Tic-Tac-Toe Game with Kiro

Question

AI coding tools are changing how we build software, but I wanted to explore what it looks like to use AI as part of the software engineering process, not just for generating code.

In my latest article, I walk through building a Tic-Tac-Toe game with Kiro, covering:

• Spec-Driven Development
• Steering
• Hooks
• Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Building the application step by step
• Lessons learned from using Kiro in a live student workshop

I also share some honest reflections on the experience and a few areas where I think Kiro can continue to improve.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Have you tried Kiro or another AI-powered IDE? What has your experience been like?
